Description
All set to become the one-stop resource for serious Java developers, this is the first comprehensive book to be based on released versions of the Java 1.2 Swing Set. While thorough in its treatment of the Swing set, the book avoids covering the minutia that is of no interest to programmers. John Zukowski is one of the best known figures in the Java community, and one of the most popular columnists for JavaWorld Magazine. He provides significant content for JavaSofts own web site and was the principal author of the "official" on-line Swing tutorial.

To my great surprise, John Zukowski has put together a clearly documented, insightful, comprehensive, and entertaining exploration of the Swing API, complete with the kind of treatment that offers something new to even the most sophisticated Swing developer. What's more, the way the material is presented makes this book easily accessible to even novice Swing developers, so I can help but recommend it highly for anyone who has, or plans to do, any Java user interface development...."DevXMore details
